Screen Daily is reporting that open auditions for the part of Lyra in the upcoming His Dark Materials film will be held. The producers say they are looking for a girl “who embodies Lyra's loyalty, bravery and mischievous nature” and say that she need not have any previous acting experience.
Auditions for the role will be taking place solely in England: at Cambridge, Oxford, Kendal and Exeter. The auditions will be held during the first two weeks of this April. A girl between the ages of 9 and 13 is being sought, allaying fears that Lyra's age would be raised for legal or moral reasons.
For those going: We'd like to cover the auditions here on BttS as fully as possible, so if anyone actually going to the auditions is interested, we'd love it if they could tell us of their experiences – how they convinced their parents, what the queue was like and perhaps even taking a few photos. If you are planning to go to the auditions and are interested, then you can email us here. Your stories would be featured here after each of the auditions.
Details:
The casting calls will have open queues in the morning lasting from 10 o'clock until 12 o'clock and will end at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
The exact locations are:
- Cambridge's Corn Exchange (4 April)
- Kendal's Castle Green Hotel (6 April)
- Oxford's Examination Schools (11 April)
- Exeter's Great Hall at the University of Exeter (13 April)

i got theses beautiful steve madden brown suede wedges, i <3 them lol
i also <3 oxford street, it's awesomeeee
anyways, i say go for the audition, what have you got to lose?
i DID look at previous post b4. i just thought about it and then forgot to post again :wassat: whoops
anyway, i think it all depends on how you like the book/story. i dont think there is much point in acting for a movie of a story you cant stand. part of me originally wanting to be an actress (i dunno about you guys) was the magic of just simply being able to dive into the book in reality and discovering what filming is like.
so i ask you? would it be so special if i acted for a story i HATED?
it would ruin my glow of magic.
but then i'm kinda weird in most senses, so you can pass by this.
i think i can safely ask that we need to establish a question here.
-Do you like the book/story?
By the way, there is nothing wrong with childish books! r u guys telling me you dont like the Mr.Men???
you know. i could go on for hours explaining myself, but i kinda need the answer to the question to make a point, so… 🙂
i do tend to ramble.
oh yes and
I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU DISSED THE SHORTBREAD> SHORTBREAD IS GORGEOUS!
your teacher must have fed you plastic or something strange
oh yeah. and do you guys know that they've cast prince caspian?
dunno who it is yet though :wassat:
you guys probobly do know but the info's been out since about the 20th and no-body posted it. so… 🙂
i think they're filming the books in a verryy strange way, first the second book no the 4th,, (it was the 4th right..?>.<)
but about the audition, I don't really know the story.. The movie is based on 73 comics..:P there are playing 2 "famous dutchpeople" in..
but it's like,, captain Rob or something has to stop professor Lupardi but blahblah and then Sandra and Steven or something have to stop professor lupardi…>.< And it'd be for the sandra part then..:P
a well,, i dunno..
But alewyn he doesn't likes it..o.O how sickk,,,!! why does he still studies there then??
I'm going to London!!!!!! whooaahh!!
dunno when yet prob in may or in jule,,
whhaa so happy..:P
hehe t must be weird for you that im so happy that i can go to your (well not yours alewyn) country for 3 or 4 days..:P
lol..

something like that. And we're already doing it with a few friends for already 2 year (this will be the 3th) but it's a different group.. there are people who'r not doing anyymore and a new one..
but it is in my house,, so they sleep over and my parents probable won't be able to sleep..:P

I DONT HAVE ANY SHORTBREAD! :crying: :crying:
whoever told it was a tradition has obviously been reading books about english traditions that the english have yet to learn.
i'll have to go make some…YUM YUM!
heh…shortbread lol
my mom makes yorkshire pudding for xmas every year and its definitely more yumm than shortbread
and yeah, it turns 2007 for me 6/5 hours after you guys 🙁
I didnt end up going on the London Eye :crying:, but I did go to the Tate Modern and the Science Museum … yay … nah it was alright! 😉 And I don't think its closed, or has been … maybe ur thinkn of when there was a terror scare … Saddam's dead! What do u guys think bout that? And, missy-me, does ur country ever av major terrorist attacks? Just wondrin coz obviously the rest of us do 🙁 ANYWAY, on a lighter note :laughing: I hope ur performances go well!
i will agree taht yorkshire pudding is lovely.
but there is a slight difference between yorkshire pudding and shortbread.
most importantly. once is a savoury the other a pudding.
I've never had yorkshire pudding..
but thank you rachel 🙂 And i dunno, not really a big one.. only 2 murders on 1 politican and a moviemaker or something.. but there are loads of things like: if you see a strange pakkage blahblah
a well..
